Chicago - This summer, The Wild Feathers recorded its first official live album, Live at the Ryman (Warner Bros. Records), at the band’s triumphant, sold-out homecoming show in Nashville, at the fabled Ryman Auditorium on June 25, 2016, which marked the final date of a tour in support of TWF’s acclaimed album Lonely Is A Lifetime,

On a late Monday night, in a low-ceilinged bar, Mauro Remiddi, better known by his moniker Porcelain Raft, took the stage with enough manly elegance and good humor to rival his doppelgänger, George Clooney.

When you hear her voice for the first time, you can tell that Madi Diaz has the personality to be great. In my case, it was hearing her voice and the upbeat, fun nature of our conversation that proved to me that her body of work to date is no accident. She can mix fun

For those of you who don’t know, Cooper Boone is a modern day Renaissance man. The country crooner-come-psychological guru-come-chef extraordinaire has managed to stake his claim as someone who is one of the most creative minds in New York City, which is saying something. Boone’s energy is infectious and manages to strike a chord with
